These fully handicapped accessible living units are for clients of Bost, Inc. For the past 50 years Bost has helped mentally and physically challenged people become a part of "normal" society, from infancy through adulthood. These apartments allow adults to live on their own and be taken to/from work.

Each apartment has two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen/dining, living and laundry room. The laundry room is also designed as a tornado shelter. Interior materials are durable and maintenance free as many of the residents use wheelchairs and walkers which easily do damage to wall and floor surfaces.

The units are designed to be a part of a residential neighborhood, to help the residents with social interaction. Thus, front porches and backyards are elements used to promote this interaction.

The renovations and addition to the Nashville High School involved transforming an existing 1960's industrial looking building into a more current looking High School. Typical of its time, the low linear building with an understated entry and exposed roof top units which were screened by deteriorated metal panels created a building that looked rundown and neglected from the perimeter streets. Working with the school superintendent, we quickly developed a list of items that were needed to be corrected. The open air concrete courtyard, in the center of the building, was removed and replaced with a new 7,000 SF student dining/common area with a performing arts stage. The existing kitchen/dinning room were revised to create a larger kitchen with a scramble serving area which allows students multiple meal selections. A new entry has been developed to create a focal point to help direct visitors to the office. Working with the existing brick building, a parapet has been added to give the building some much needed height, but to also create a new screen for the roof top units. The office area and counselor center have been revised and moved to each side of the new entry which allows visitors to enter into a secure vestibule accessible to the office or counselor center only before being allowed access to the rest of the school. Finally, seven classrooms have been added to the building and the media center was remodeled and enlarged.

This two story bank will highlight the beginning of the Arts District within the City of Bentonville. The building's use of native Arkansas materials will be used both on its exterior and interior. The large glass windows along "A" Street will allow viewing of art placed behind these windows. The bank will occupy the first floor and a portion of the second floor. The second floor will also have a tenant space. Both the bank area and the tenant space will have access to balconies, allowing a connection to the street life below. LEED Certification will not be pursued, but the Owner has requested the building be designed to meet all LEED/USGBC "Certified" requirements.
